A rarity from the early 90s funky underground by Bus People Express – who were alternately working as Soul Saints during this period – and they would soon trailblaze the contemporary funk scene as Poets Of Rhythm! "Augusta Georgia (Here I Come)" starts out with stripped-down ... read more7-inch, Vinyl record

Bobby Caldwell's sleeper "What You Won't Do For Love" has gone onto become one of the most enduring mellow soul tracks from the late 70's, with a nice jazz flipside, pressed up on a heart shaped red vinyl 45! 7-inch, Vinyl record

(Shrinkwrap has a hype sticker, remnants of a price sticker, and a hole in one corner. Cover has a light stain where exposed.)

Heavy funk from Rickey Calloway – once a lost 70s artist, but now at the top of our stack, thanks to the efforts of Kenny Dope! "Get It Right" is a totally frenetic little track – one with riffing guitar in the rhythms, played at a level that matches the best grooves of the ... read more7-inch, Vinyl record

Snapping drums and heavy funk – a completely heavy-hitting number that rivals the best James Brown work of the early 70s! The track's a smoking cooker that never lets up – from the first rattletrap on the drums, to the shouted righteous vocals from Bobby, to the monstrously riffing ... read more7-inch, Vinyl record

What a great combination – the Latin piano of Eddie Cano and the magical compositions of Henry Mancini! Eddie's working here with a small combo that includes bass, drums, and conga – and he starts out slow and moody with Mancini's music, then starts kicking it up with that heavy-groovin ... read more7-inch, Vinyl record

A great bit of go-go soul – sweet but sock-hard, with a tightly stepping groove that goes well with the "yeah yeah yeah" vocal chorus! Horns creep up behind the vocal and punch it up as the song goes along – and the single features a rare alternate version of the cut, which ... read more7-inch, Vinyl record

What can we say? "Twine Time" is one of the all-time classics – and it's still the best-remembered track by this legendary funky 45 artist. "The Bump" is pretty darn nice, too – and this one's not a 70s bump track, but a harder, 60s one! 7-inch, Vinyl record

A rare alternate version of "Ooh It Hurts Me" – an excellent Detroit group soul number from the late 60s – one with these surprisingly complicated harmonies, from a group who never lose their groove! Willie Kendricks takes over on the flipside – giving us a great raspy ... read more7-inch, Vinyl record

Massive funkiness from the early 70s! "Jungle Fever" is one of those cuts that we never tire of – with pounding slow funk drums that still send a shiver down our spine. "Cha Ka Cha" is a slow Latin groover – with almost an LA Chicano funk sound. 7-inch, Vinyl record

One of our all-time favorites from vocalist June Christy – part of an excellent 50s run for Capitol Records in collaboration with arranger Pete Rugolo – a talent who transformed the sound Christy cut with the Kenton band into a whole new range for jazz vocals! The setting is rich and ... read more7-inch, Vinyl record

(Sleeve has some tape on two seams and some light wear. Still nice, though.)

A powerful single from the team of Chuck & Mac – and easily one of the deepest soul records we've heard on Twinight! "Powerful Love" has this beautiful slow-burning feel that's completely sublime – a stone mellow duet that has the vocals rising up together wonderfully ... read more7-inch, Vinyl record

Genius soul from the amazing Alice Clark – one of our favorite female soul singers from the early 70s! Both tracks are pulled from Alice's rare album on the Mainstream label – and both of them have a really unique mix of jazz and soul in the backings, done at a level that expands out ... read more7-inch, Vinyl record

Fantastic work from Otis Clay – a rare side for Cotillion from the early 70s, and (dare we say it?) even better than his Chicago work for One-Der-Ful! Both sides are spectacular – the kind of hard and heavy soul that was always lurking as a promise in Otis' records, but sometimes didn't ... read more7-inch, Vinyl record

Funky stuff! Side one features Lyn Collins' famous version of "Think", sampled by Rob Base to big fame – and a wonderful funky nugget in its own right – much harder and heavier than any previous versions of the tune! The flipside's nice, too – and features a very dope ... read more7-inch, Vinyl record

A wonderful lost single on early 70s Capitol – most likely one of those small local productions that was licensed to the label at the time! "You Played The Part" has an incredible sound that's mixed male/female harmony – a stated intro by the male voice, then lead vocals from ... read more7-inch, Vinyl record

One of the most overlooked groups of the east coast scene of the early 70s – but a great one! "The Way I Love You" has some stellar stellar harmonies, and a rolling conga-driven groove that's sort of in the pre-club vein! The flip's even better, though – and is a wonderful ... read more7-inch, Vinyl record

An incredibly rare slice of righteous soul – pulled from obscurity! "Third Eye" has this really cool little groove – jazzy, but kind of light too – with these horns that are way in the background as the core skipping rhythms set most of the scene – all to some ... read more7-inch, Vinyl record

"Early Dawn" is an excellent lost groover! It's got a nice hard drum intro, and a sweet mellow jazz groove played by an unknown tenor player that sounds a lot like Stanley Turrentine in his very early days. The riff is totally catchy, and the cut's a wonderful little number that's way ... read more7-inch, Vinyl record

We've never been commotted – so we're not sure what it means to "Don't Commot Me" – but we can say that the tune is a wickedly sharp bit of Afro Funk, complete with some very fast-riffing guitar! The instrument's a lot more tight than on some of the looser Afro numbers of the ... read more7-inch, Vinyl record

An amazing pairing of talents! Funk vocal giant Ricky Calloway works here with backing from The Dap Kings – recording in the Daptone studios, with production from Kenny Dope! All the cooks on board definitely don't spoil the broth – and instead, the cut may well be the sort of number ... read more7-inch, Vinyl record

An absolute, hard-charging funk hammer from the Dap-Kings – an incredible instrumental co-written and co-produced by Dapper Bosco Mann and Kenny Dope! If "Nervous Like Me" has a title that reflects some kind of timidity, the track is anything but! It's simply pummeling – ... read more7-inch, Vinyl record

A nicely brooding number from Wanda Davis – a slow stepper with a deep bluesy undercurrent that fits very nicely with Wanda's excellent vocals in the lead! The tune's contemporary, but it's got this really old school vibe that almost takes us back to Screamin Jay Hawkins in the 50s! 7-inch, Vinyl record

Rare soul from Sam Dees – Shelby Singleton productions for SSS International – starting with a nice, rumbling bassline and piano before Sam's achingly soulful voice kicks in the with the horns – with a raspy style that's completely sublime. Killer! The flip has an alternate ... read more7-inch, Vinyl record
